 PEOPLE who have been afraid tn,

PEOPLE who have been afraid that the government and its interests would not be safe in democratic hands are surprised by the annual report of Postmaster General Villas just published. In the face of q re- duction of letter postage from three cents a half ounce to two cents an ounce, and of postage on second class mail matter from two cents to one cent per pound, the receipts of the department have increased near ly $5,000,000, while the disburse- ments have only increased $2,000,- 900, net gain to the government of $3,000,000. The fact should also be borne in mlnd that as the popula- tion of the country increases better postal facilities are demanded and furnished. The showing of the de- partment IS a remarkable one and entities the Postmaster General to credit as vigorous, efiiclent and prudent official. The estimates sub mitted for the next fiscal year ex- ceed the estimated revenue by less than million and half, but the department explains that, while the revenue is estimated within the bounds of probability, the estimates of expenditures are placed higher than they may be reasonably expect ed to be. The report adds in this connection: Unless Legislation or some unforeseen event changes the relation between revenue and ex- . pse, a cash surplus may be conf i Respected as the product of 2g year"

Olive Culture in California.

Col. Ellwood Cooper, the largest

sweet oil in the world, has been at the
Lick House for the last day or two.
Before he left yesterday ON the Queen
for his big orchards near Santa Bar
bara he gave some interesting running

said the prosperous grower. But
they can be raised all the way from
San Luis Obispo to San Diego. I hear
of few trees in Georgia, but there is
nowhere else in America that they are
produced except in California. 1 have
100 acres now of olive trees, eighty of
which are bearing. l began in rather
a small way in 1873, and have planted
from l, 200 to 5000 trees each winter
ever since. 1t takes the trees from
four to six or seven years to bear
expect to make from my present crop
from 10000 to $4,000 bottles of oil.
Yes, there is the biggest sort of a
market right here at home for every
bottle that can be made. California
| can't begin to produce the tenth part
that is required. The present crop is
very good. The trees are in fine con-
ditiOn, and are bearing well. 1 en-

A Startling Prediction.

Two hundred years ago in China
there was just such a craze about
natural gas as we have in this country
to-day. Gas wells were sunk
with as much vim and vigor as
the Celestials were capable OF
but owing to gas explosion that killed
several millions of people and tore up
and destroyed large district OF
country, leaving large inland sea,
known on the maps as Lake Foo
Chang, the boring of any more gas
wells was then and there prohibited by
law. 1t seems, according to the Chinese
history, that many large and heavy
pressure gas wells were sunk quite
near to each other. Gas was lighted
as soon as struck, as is done in this
country. 1t is stated that one well
with its unusual pressure, by induction
or back draught, pulled down into the
earth the burning gas of a smaller we'll,
resulting in a dreadful explosion of a
large district, destroying the inhabit-
ants thereof. Lake Foo Chang rests
on this district. The same catastrophe
is imminent in this country unless the
laws restrict further developments in
boring SO many wells. Should q
similar explosion occur there will be
such an upheaval as will dwarf the
most terrible earthquakes ever known.
The country along the gas belt from
Toledo through Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky will be ripped up to the
depth of 200 to l, 500 feet and Topped
over like pancake, leaving chasn
through which the waters of Lake
Erie will come bowling down, filling
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. and
blotting them out forever.-Ci Cincinnati
